How To: Secure Wipe your Corsair SSD

If you would like to permanently erase all data from your Corsair SSD and help ensure that it cannot be recovered, please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Download and install Corsair SSD Toolbox 2.0 Preview from the Corsair Downloads page: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/downloads
  2. On the Downloads page, open the Category drop-down menu and select Storage. The Corsair SSD Toolbox 2.0 Preview utility should then appear in the list of available downloads.

     
  3. After installing the software, launch Corsair SSD Toolbox and navigate to Secure Erase.
  4. Select the SSD you wish to erase and click Start.

Important: Secure Erase permanently removes all data from the drive by writing zeros to all physical storage locations. Once complete, the data cannot be recovered.

Warning: This process will erase all data on the selected drive. Ensure that any important files have been backed up before proceeding.

Note: Secure erase operations will contribute to SSD wear and will impact the overall lifespan of the drive.
